Emergency Abdominal Pain: What to Expect at Urgent Care
When you experience sudden and severe abdominal pain, it can be a cause for concern. While some abdominal discomfort can be attributed to minor issues, others might require immediate medical attention. This blog post will guide you through what to expect when you seek help for emergency abdominal pain at an urgent care facility. We’ll also touch upon key symptoms, potential causes, and the importance of timely medical assessment.
Understanding the symptoms
The first step in addressing emergency abdominal pain is recognizing the symptoms. Symptoms can vary widely, but some common indicators that should prompt a visit to urgent care include:
Sudden and severe pain: Intense abdominal pain that comes on suddenly should not be ignored.
Pain persistence: If the pain doesn’t subside or worsens over time, it’s a cause for concern.
Fever and nausea: Additional symptoms like fever, nausea, or vomiting may accompany the pain.
Potential Causes
Emergency abdominal pain can be caused by various factors, including:
Appendicitis: Inflammation of the appendix can lead to severe abdominal pain.
Gastrointestinal issues: Conditions like gastritis, ulcers, or gastroenteritis can cause abdominal discomfort.
Kidney stones: Pain caused by kidney stones can be excruciating and requires prompt evaluation.
Gallbladder problems: Gallstones or inflammation can lead to intense pain.
The Urgent Care Visit
What can you expect when you visit an urgent care center for emergency abdominal pain?
Immediate Triage: Upon arrival, you’ll be assessed promptly to determine the severity of your condition.
Medical History: You’ll be asked about your medical history and the details of your pain.
Physical Examination: A healthcare provider will conduct a physical examination, focusing on your abdominal area.
Diagnostic Tests: Depending on the symptoms, blood tests, imaging (such as X-rays or ultrasounds), or other diagnostic tests may be ordered.
Treatment or Referral: Based on the assessment, you may receive immediate treatment, such as pain relief or fluids, or be referred for further evaluation, such as a surgical consultation.
Conclusion
Emergency abdominal pain should never be ignored. Knowing what to expect when you visit an urgent care center for abdominal pain can help ease your concerns and ensure you receive the appropriate care promptly. Remember, timely medical assessment is crucial to addressing potential underlying issues and ensuring your well-being.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe abdominal pain, don’t hesitate — seek urgent medical attention for a thorough evaluation and proper care.

hate this fucking college why are you taking every step possible to make it harder for us to be good practitioners this is insane
#like WHY do we have to jump through 15 thousand flaming fucking hoops to get access to basic resources#that almost every other medical school readily provide for their students i don't get it do you want us to be good at our jobs or not#and they're always so obscure and never transparent with their assessments it's so awful and does nothing but stunt our learning#because instead of focusing on effectively understanding basic medical sciences and retaining clinical skills instead i have to put my time#and energy into figuring out how the fuck im supposed to prepare for you dumbass nonsensical assessments that you never let us review#so that i can pass salvage what's left of my gpa get the fuck out of here omg pisses me off so much

#its crazy how much easier it is to do things when youre not completely miserable lol#this past week has been weird bc ive felt really really good and like normal in a way thats kinds unfathomable#im hoping its the medication but my mood was already on an upward tilt and i was told it would take like 6 weeks for the meds to work#property but like ive been sleeping way more than usual. and by that i literally just mean 8hrs a night lol which is weird for me#like that never ever ever happens multiple days in a row. so idk. when i feel better it makes the 0cd way easier to manage as well#and im just generally not as anxious. on the more worrisome side i kinda just give less of a fuck so like i have an exam im not ready for#Tuesday and im just kinda like hm fuck that lol. ill go thru lil fluctuations of having a lot of energy too#like: i could run around in circles rn. i dont have to but i could. like yesterday i was out with friends and i was like bouncing up and#down while standing and rocking from side to side while sitting. which i kinda do anyway while in crowds but it was more to expend energy#last night i also got like 5hrs of sleep. so like maaaaybe ive been on the bleeding edge of mood elevation but for the most part it just#feels good and not destructive. like if i felt like this all the time that would b fantastic. its like oh so this is y ppl dont long to b#put out of their misery lol. depression? who? i dont kno her. sounds fake. but as soon as i fucking say that ill b fucking slapped back#down to earth. ugh. annoying. no emotional object permanence. i hope its the meds. if this is the person i am under layers of misery then#that is fucking so insane. we shall see. im curious to hear what the psychiatrist thinks of my brain when i follow up with her#i gave her my full dys1exia assessment which gives a pretty good picture of how my head functions. oh fuck i bet i would do waaaayyy better#on thise test if i took it in this state of mind. but anyway she has that on top of like 3 assessment sheets i filled out#dispite everything i still want someone to categorize me into a discreet box. tell me doc. am i really bip0lar? really really?#ur sure??? like 1000% sure bc my brain wont let me accept that unless its beyond a reasonable doubt. i just doesn't seem that serious.#i mean. it is but like ya kno. its not that bad. ay. this glob of mush behind my eyes runs me in circles#but for now thats ok bc i feel like i could run up a mountain or punch someone in the face lol#unrelated

i'm only on chapter 2 of Unmasking Autism by Devon Price, phd, but it's SO good, makes me go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#haiz reads things#same feeling as with ace by angela chen#the author is autistic and trans if it helps#i feel like ive been better at honoring and recognising my autism for the past couple years#but medical professionals have always seemed very sceptical of it - to the point i had to be assessed a second time to be diagnosed#and listening to this book is already so validating and powerful and putting words to so many things#(slightly related but i recently realised im probably not just a 'anxious type of person' i probably have Actual Anxiety#despite having been screened by therapists on several occasions. but im probably very good at acting well-adjusted#see also being rejected from therapy for not being depressed enough during the most horrible time of my life. ANYWAY)

might’ve accidentally girlbossed my way into an autism assessment
#like I had my neuropsych intake today virtually#and the proctor (?) is asking me the basics on my psychiatric and medical history#and then right after that’s done he’s asking my mom about my childhood development and she’s like ‘‘it was normal I think’’#and then WE start talking (and I’m staring across the room the entire time because I WILL panic if I have to look at them head on)#and we go from talking about my government-defined disabling anxiety to ‘‘how were you socially as a child? do lights and sounds bother you?#‘‘how do you handle changes to routine?’’ and I’m like I know where this shit is going#anyways he’s going to send both me and my mom assessments to take to speed up the testing process#and I stg if he sends me the RAADS-R I’m going to lose it

Teeth Are Weird
Them: Show us how you would brush your teeth
Me: No
Them: Why not?
Me: Well, one, I have no toothbrush. Two, you would see my teeth. And that would be weird.
Them: Well how would you teach a child to brush their teeth?
Me: I would not. Someone else can do it, I guess.
Them: Why?
Me: I would see their teeth. That's weird.
#autism#autism assessment#actually autistic#they took very little time to decide i was autistic#and i was like#i know#i've known for years#nobody has ever shut up about me clearly being autistic#but cool glad to have it rubber stamped#now i get my sleep disorder medicated#anyways looking back i think this was funny#i was just very focused on how weird it is to see teeth#but also i think its very silly to tell me to show you how to brush teeth without the necessary equipment

this project is going to kill me
#like SO MUCHgrowth and balls and discipline is required from i who has just gotten better at leaving the house more than once a week a few#months ago but it’s good i’m just terrified of bungling it up and ihave to be so vulnerable and constantly change my mindset and perspective#and my brain hurts and my chest is TIGHT and i have to get used to making mistakes and actually learning from them and i can just taste the#finality of it all but i know that it is GOOD because i WANT these changes and i WANT to be smarter and braver#it is exhausting and terrible but i know it will be glorious if i can just PUSH. and not freeze in fear anymore#i’m still not taking medication so this is just everything coming at me raw which might not seem like a good idea but i… want to feel everyt#hing? exposure therapy in place of actual therapy because she’s on annual leave ha. as long as i know i’m doing the best i can along with#making my shifts and keeping up with people i care about inbetween and learn how to budget and looking for a probably secondhand dslr camera#for a good price on time and talking to more people than i can stand and trying not to perform while not acting like an emotionally#constipated child at the same time and#making sure i give myself time to STUDY and rest but mostly STUDY#after all this is done i’m going to apply for an adhd assessment and sleep for 3 days

meds working is like. finding myself laughing at something. smiling big. crying easy cause i can feel again. anything beautiful or even vaguely sentimental sparks tears and sometimes it's such a ridiculous thing to cry at that i have to laugh again. not remembering the last time i felt really bad when i used to not remember the last time i felt really happy. saying that i'm doing alright and it's a good thing and not another way to say that i'm not doing well. things can be tough but overall i'm alright. things are alright. things are okay. driving with the windows down in late summer is fun and december's early nights are nice, actually, and maybe i just need to get out of bed and shower to feel less icky. i had a rough time today but it's not the end. happiness is not always transcendent. things are alright.
#everywhere i turn nowadays it's like. wow. the meds are working.#third month on medication and gosh haha#being treated for it and having it get better is an Insane way to finally accept that it was actually depression </3#can't stop talking about it though cause!!!!!! !!!!!!!#didn't think they were Kicking In for a while cause i wasn't feeling Happy™️ but then someone asked how i was doing last month#and i went in to assess my mental state to offer an honest evaluation but like. i was okay. genuinely doing okay.#which. huh.#i'm like. things are fine :)#suddenly the convo i had with my dorm neighbor about contentment being a good thing and not Settling For Not Bad makes sense 😭#who was gonna tell me that i was mentally ill.#anyway y'all have been living like this the whole time?? the world is so much more manageable#not Y'all. i know the people reading this. but the general population#valentine notes

i hate posts that are supposed to be positivity for people who lack friends or that say that social connections are like unexpectedly inevitable/straightforward to make or something, but then like. don't elaborate on how that is possible. it always just makes me feel more hopeless
#space chirrup#idk. i suppose even if there was actually anything theoretically actionable in those posts i still might not feel like it'd work for me#i mean i've tried googling for actual advice but for some reason ''how to make friends as a chronically online socially stunted#possibly autistic barely-transitioned transgender young adult introvert with esoteric interests'' doesn't turn up anything useful#(idk if ''possibly autistic'' is accurate all the self-assessments i've done plus the psychologist i went to said i probably wasn't)#i suspect that i might be unnecessarily limiting myself with all of that#but i have absolutely no idea what is a reasonable amount to step outside of my comfort zone/interests#i don't even have anything that i want out of basic social interactions the thing that compels me is intimacy.#but i don't want that with someone i don't know already.#but how do i get to know people when there's nothing i want to do with them and i have trouble feeling like i want things in general#does that mean i'm depressed. i've had conflicting feedback on whether i am. what is the productive course of action if i am#bc i keep thinking that like medication wouldn't be worth it if i didn't have a plan to actually improve my life but that if i had a#plan i could just do it without medication#but idk maybe medication would allow me to identify an actually viable plan. ggggggg#ALSO does it make a difference that i only feel strongly about this when it's late at night#people always say not to trust how you feel at night but it's not like i feel GOOD about my life in the daytime it's just kinda neutral#like there's enough for me to survive without significant effort and i'm not completely joyless but idk what it's all for#and night is the only time i feel motivated to do anything about it.#though usually that thing is just writing a vent post on tumblr or something equivalently unproductive lolllll

I really am not made to function as an adult
I had two slightly stressful days in a row and now I feel like my body is feeling the results today. The anxiety is not cool
#and I still have some responsibilities I’ve been procrastinating on#on monday I had to go with my brother on a “trip” because he had to get a minor surgery#it literally took 30 minutes and wasn’t bad at all#but it’s still stressful cause medical stuff#and also talking with people and dealing with paperwork#yesterday I had my assessment for a driving licence and it took a long time to get there cause I went by bus#and had to wait an hour#tomorrow I’m going to the dentist in the morning#and I need to get the paperwork from the doctors to finish some admin stuff for the driving licence#and sign up to a driving school#while I also need to call places to ask about an apprenticeship

ik Preventing Benefit '''Fraud''' is the whole point of this country's welfare system but it does still feel v absurd that i have to bring a Legal Form Of ID to my work capability assessment as if i would. lie about being someone else. to be interrogated for over an hour by a tory cunt. to maybe get another like two hundred quid a month. no one is doing this if they do not absolutely have to you shitheads
#yelling at clouds#i don't even want to#they took so long to actually arrange this assessment i might end up getting an adhd dx before they actually increase my benefit#if they even. decide to do that.#it's so so so stupid that i literally Just need to get medication but it's become This Whole Fucking Thing.#i decided i wanted antidepressants i booked a doctors appointment the next week i walked out with a prescription#i realised i need adhd meds. Five Years Ago.#I Still Do Not Have Them.#i could!!!! have been working!!!!! that whole time!!!!!!#or probly not that whole time cuz the pandemic but. yknow. most of it.

I wanna do some sketch pages for £6/$7.62/€6.98!
Choose 4-5 expressions from one of these kinda sheets (but these are just some ideas, doesn't have to be from these ones exactly, and you can have less than 4/5 if u really want! You could even send me a meme redraw idea featuring your characters, I love doing those!)
Message me with your reference image(s) at the ready- doesn’t have to be an official ref sheet, any pics are good!
Then after a discussion of what you want to see from me, be ready to throw the tip into The Jar (please + thank u :3) alt links here:
I’m about to reblog this with examples of what my sketches look like: (will be under readmore because i'm trying not to make this post too long and there’s a limit on how many images I can include in a post)
THANKS FOR READING SO FAR I LOVE YOU

i’ve been rotating this in my brain for a few days and the thing is yeah i agree neurodiversity does not mean you’re powerless to change your behaviour. but i do think it’s a bit callous of neurotypical people to go ‘stop being a burden and just learn to be more organised/read social situations/etc’ when there is often zero support available to teach you strategies to manage your neurodiversity, especially if you weren’t diagnosed as a child
#like buddy i wish i was better at this also#but have you SEEN the state of the nhs#i've been on the waiting list for an adhd assessment for a year and a half and even if i get a formal diagnosis#i'll likely just get prescribed medication rather than any support to manage my time blindness / rsd / etc#adhd
